Does an aftermarket power cord matters for Amp?


I am currently using the stock power cord for my VAC Avatar tube integrated amp. I have upgraded my cdp's power cord (given the trigger-down theory with source component) a while ago with a Synergistic Research A/C Master Coupler and had good results. I have been wondering if I should do the same for the Amp and question if it really does make a difference. If so, is it significant and worth the investment?

Absolutely! Now finding the right cord for your system is the fun of the hobby. You'll get enough recommendations to keep you busy for a long while. The homework will be fun. I just replaced my Lat Internationals, serveral weeks ago, with two Sonoran power cords run from 2 dedicated outlets to my Eclipse power conditioner. (am I nuts with my electric, or what?) Today, my Harmonix Studio Masters are arriving. They will go from Eclipse to cdp and amp. You, certainly, don't have to get crazy with pcs to get audible benefits. But be careful, out there. It's a jungle and power cords can become a $$ habit. peace, warren

P.S. I have used Ern's cord. You can always email me for more feedback. It's a nice introduction to power cord possiblilites, BUT fasten you seatbelt....
New cords are in. Right out of the box. Brand spanking new. No break in. SOUND?-- Unreal.. My system went from breathing through a cocktail straw to breathing from an inch wide pipe. Out of the box. Cold as a cucumber. I was told, in advance though, that they would not need any break in. They are glorious. Next week, the ICs!! can't take all this excitement. Will talk more when my tympanics know more.... peace,warren
You're right on that Stu. I was comparing to his older model. Wasn't aware of his new stuff. As Gilda Radner use to say on Saturday Night Live, "never mind." Can you hear her? Anyway, I'm sure the new ones are jamin and worth the $$. peace, warren
